First of all. Let's talk about HOW TO BE AN AUDIANCE. Now, I don't mind when people whisper durning a movie or even if someone rather tall sits in front of me but this one just bought the farm! If you're over four feet tall, you DO NOT need a booster seat, thanks. Also, don't let fifth graders go to ANY movie over a G rating! I swear, the movie theatre was like a FIELD TRIP. And keep your feet on the floor, not the chair next to me where no one is sitting. Also, please remember to turn off your cell phone and if the movie is *that* boring, you can play with it *outside*! Oh, and one more thing: PUT YOUR CHANGE IN YOUR POCKET!!!!!!!!!
Now that I'm finished with that:
I hate teen movies. Of all kinds. Maybe because my mind doesnt work like a twelve-year-old any more but there might be some other reason. How many times can one see a person hit in the testicles? Okay, multipy that by 50 and you have Scary Movie 3. Wait! I forgot! Add 100 boob jokes and 57 perverted, double-antandres. *That* is Scary Movie 3.
I know I'm being harsh and I *did* get at least one or two good laughs but the commercials were far better. I'll just have to go see Underworld to make myself feel better....
The first evil duck goes to AUTHENTISIM! I couldn't criticize ONE THING in that movie! It was amazing! They even spoke with great 18th c. language! The nautical stuff was awesome (everyone knows that I already love Horatio Hornblower) and the costuming was excellent.
Alright ummm the next evil duck goes to PLOT. The plot was actually very exciting. I was hooked. The only flaw that Kelly and I saw was how predictable it all was. ^_^ Maybe we're just super-geniouses but it just seems that when there are a bunch of dead guys laying on your enemy ship, they *might* just be pretending. (Of course that wasn't the only thing that we predicted but I'm not going to ruin the movie for you!)
The third evil duck is for CASTING! Kudos to whoever was casting director! I don't really like Russel Crowe but the rest of the cast was great! Exhibit A: Billy Boyd (of LotR). Exibit B: that cute little blonde boy! Omigosh, I almost cried during the whole arm incedent (not just because of the blood). Exhibit C: The charming James D'arcy who is Lefttenant Tom Pullings. Yes, another guy for the books.
Umm the only reason why I couldn't give this 4 ducks is because a) it isn't like a superdooper movie like PotC (b/c of lack of Orlando Bloom) and b) THE BLOOD! Oh my goodness, Kelly and I spent more time looking away than actually watching the movie. That's just a warning for those weak people (i.e. me). It's bloodier than an episode of Alias! And beware the doctor on land. Not trying to ruin anything. Just a warning because...ew...
WOO HOO! WHAT A GOOD MOVIE! :)
